Story of my life ;)

“I’m trying to think of another game that made me feel inadequate for laying waste to a mere 1.75 billion people.” Read more

Hi guys, great to hear you talking about DC and games. I spent most of 2013-2014 working at the White House on games. A few quick notes: You mentioned regulation, you may want to take a look at the FTC, which has brought cases against a handful of game companies in recent years. The Wilson Center hosts the Federal… Read more

Not to be a nerd but your team is generated before the draft of 15 rounds because as you select it will show you the players current on your roster This way you have to judge is the player worth not selecting another player at same position. For example I suck at running the ball but my passing game is top notch , so… Read more

Draft Champions has represented about 90% of my Madden 16 playing. The actual game of digital football is such a slog that this is the only way to make it work for me. Then I realized I should have just saved the $60 and put that into Hearthstone packs. Read more

Thank you for this podcast. It’s mature, pithy and fun... A rarity in podcasting and definitely in video game podcasts. I listen to each episode the day it comes out. Keep it up! Read more

I love draft champions because you can really get at other players via play calling. Right now people are over reliant on the aggressive catch/go route combo. To the point where they even defend against it with their lives. Read more

I was so confused for a while, missing the periods between the letters D and C, and failing to see how this was related to DC learning to give their licenses to good developers. (Something Marvel should figure out.)

Then I facepalmed. Read more

A strange game. Read more

I used to work in politics in Canada and as gaming has grown in the mainstream so has it grown in politics. Furthermore political staffers which tend to be in their mid-20’s to early 30’s are now part of the video game generation as much as anyone. Also helpfully people who grew up with the early video games are being… Read more

I'm sure that it's a wonderful podcast, but I just want to read and then make a pithy comment afterwards. Is that so wrong? I will listen to the podcast now.

Rather than Hearhstone, I figure we could give it a better moniker. Might I suggest “Madden the Gathering”? Read more

I wish you could play this mode with friends though. Was my favorite part of the EA Access trial.

This is pretty much all I’ve done with Madden this year and I really dig it. Just like drafting MTG and Arena in Hearthstone, there is some luck involved, but it’s so satisfying to put together a weird team and succeed (like Randall Cunningham coached by Rex Ryan, playing for my Titans). I much prefer it to the… Read more

Playing offensive line is already fun when you are in a group. When i play with my friend and his wife ( Vs the CPU ) me and his wife will switch off who is Runnng back. But to be honest i think i like being on the O-line better and pancaking down the defensive line creating a hole for her to run thru. I have gotten… Read more

YOU JUST BROKE THE HEARTS OF MANY ASPIRING LONG SNAPPERS, CHRIS. I hope you feel good about yourself. Read more

Make it play like an FPS action game instead of an overhead sports game (more Griffball in Halo than traditional Madden) and I think we’re onto something here. Read more

“the role you play in Madden: a godlike coach-quarterback hybrid who can possess any member of his alien Borg.” Read more
